An !Aristocratic Idiot.

The semi-idiotic English nobleman so
ably caricatured by poor Sothern is by
no means creature OF the imagination.
The writer once attended q fancy-dressed
ball given to Prince Eduard, of SAKE
Weimer, the commander of the South
ern forces in England. One Of the mas
ters of ceremonies was Lord Arthur Sey-
mour, q person who might well have sat
for the original OF Dundreary. A mis-
chievous naval lieutenant informed the
sprig of nobility that one of the guests
was attired as Judas Iscariot. Lord
Arthur was pleased to consider this IL
bad taste, and attempted to find the
imaginary arch traitor. During his
search rs came across the writer
and the following conversation en-
s1,ed: "Iouah name is-er-L,, l be-
heve?" eyes, my lord" replied the
humble individual addressed. ''Well, I
am aw told that aw person is present
who aw is dressed as Judas, and posi-
lively has the the thisty pieces OF silvah
in his bag. 1t is aw like his id i'm
pewdonce to cawwy silvah heah! Why
The dayvel couldn't he aw bring soyer-
eigns?"-P Philadelphia North American.

Merits of Small Fowls.

The advantage of small breeds of hens
is thus presented by the American Agri-
culturist: Though small in size, the
Leghorns and HambGrgs grow rapidly
and mature early. It requires some
time before large fowl attains its full
size. The advantage of the small breeds
is that they permit US to make a 'short
cut" TO the laying point, though they
may be deficient in weight. So far as
the cost is concerned, it has been
demonstrated that it requires no more
food for large fowl than small one
compared with the product. That's, We
can produce as many pounds OF Leghorn
meat as we can of Cochin meat with the
same proportion of food, but in laying
qualities the small breeds are superior,
as they are usually non-sitters, and lay
large eggs. Another advantage with
them is that, being small, a large num-
Der can be kept together, as they require:
less room on the roost. Being active
they do not become excessively fat, and
if allowed to run at large they will pick
up large proportion Of their food dur
ing favorable seasons. Being usually
clean-legged, they ere not as subject to
scabby legs as the Asiatics, and if kept
warm in winter they will lay about as
vel! during the cold season as in sum-
ner.

= Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago IL Gina there
was just such q craze about natural gas
as We have IN this country to-day. Gas
wells were sunk with as much vim and
vigor as the Cciestials were capable OF,
but owing to {; gas explosion that killed
several millions Of people and tore W
and destroyed large district Of country,
leavir@ large inland sea, known on tila
maps as Lake Foo Chang, the boring OF
any more gas wells was Ehel and there
prohibited by law. Il seems, accordiI 2
to the Chiuesa history, that many large
ard heavy pressure gas wells were struck
and ii some districts wells were sunl;
quite near TO each other. Gas was
lighted as soon as struck, as is lcaa Il
this county. 1t is stated :.::istt one well
with It's unusual Pressure, by induction
OF back d.ausat, pulled down into ths
earth the burning gas OF a smaller well,
resulting IL dreadful explosion CT &

ASSASSIN GUITEAU,S ANATHEMA.
Remarkable Succession of Misfortunes
That Ha Followed His Whitening

Remarkable Succession of Misfortunes
That Ha e Followed His Withering
Curse.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-After the as
sassin Guiteau had been convicted and
sentenced by the court to be hanged for
killing President Garfield, he stood up
in his place and pronounced whitening
curse on every one connected with the
trial. Little was thought of it at the
time. It was regarded as fitting
climax Of his rawlings throughout that
remarkable case. Guiteau declared that
misfortune would attend every one con-
nected with his trial. Since then Gui-
teau's curse has impressed itself upon
the minds of superstitious people by the
singular manner in which it has appar-
emily been fulfilled.
The jury was composed of twelve
strong and healthy men. The foreman
was in comfortable circumstances and
was estimated : to be worth $50,
Within year after the trial he lost his
money and is now reduced to the level
Of a day laborer.
-Four members of the jury are dead,
and nearly every one has been visited
with some kind of misfortune.
District Attorney Geo. B. Corkhill
was removed from Office, his wife died
and his own death followed before the
end of another year.
Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in law,
who with Charles II. Reed defended the
prisoner, was divorced from his wife and
lost all of his property,
President Arthur, who refused to
grant pardon or new trial to Guiteau,
was defeated for denomination and slow
ly failed in health, and died last winter.
Mr.. Blaine, who was witness against
Guiteau, was nominated for President,
but defeated.
John A. Logan, another witness, is
now dead, stricken down in apparent
health.
DR.. D. W. Bliss, Garfeld's physician,
has been in very poor health for two
years, and it is thought that he Will
never be well man again.
David Davis, who appeared as a wit
ness, has also joined the great majority.
Judge John K. Porter, of New York,
one of the government counsel in the
case, has practically retired from the
practice OF his profession.
The guards who kept watch over Gui-
teau in the jail have nearly all lost their
positions.
Judge Cox, who presided over the
trial, lost his wife.
The downward career of Charles b.
Reed, of Guiteau's counsel, which cul-
minated in New York few mornings
ago, by his attempting to take his own
life, adds another name to the list Of
victims of Guiteau's anathema.
The only conspicuous exception is
found in Walter Davidge, of the govern
ment counsel in the case. Mr.. Davidge
has apparently been more prosperous.
since the trial than before. He stands at
the head Of the Washington bar.
The defeat of the Republican party in
1854 recalls the fact that Guiteau pre-
dicted its defeat.

A Riot by Socialists.


London, Feb. 9-Ten Thousand so.
~cialists met in Olerkenwell last evening
and subsequently marched in defiance
of the government prohibition promul.
gated yesterday, Hundreds of mount
ed police were on the spot, but their
presence did not prevent the speakers
from giving utterance TO the most in
cendiary speeches. An attempt on the
part OF the socialists was made to light
torches preparatory to forming q pro.
cesslon, but the police interfered aud
the mob dispersed, breaking into three
parties and taking three different routes.
This piece of strategy rendered the
force OF the police on the ground wholly
inadequate to control the entire number
OF socialists, compelling the former to
also divide itself into three parties. The
socialist contingent which marched in the
direction of the CITY armed themselves
with pieces of granite which were lying
loose in the street where they were
needed to repair the pavement and be-
gan smashing the windows of shops and
houses On route. The crowd attempted
to loot . butcher shop but were mel at
the door by the owne who emptied q
revolver into the mob driving them
away bat doing nobody injury. The
rioters wers met at Newgate by a strong
force OF police and quickly dispersed.
Several of the most demonstrative Of the
mob were arrested. The sections of the
original mob which started west from
Clerkenwell sustaineda gradual deple-
ton Of nambers before any damage Yves
done and disappeared, thanks to the
extremely cold weather and the absence
OF organization or leadership in their
rank.
